(History of Hauz Khas Fort)
Construction of the Hauz Khas Fort complex began with the digging for the water tank. Allaudin Khilji planned it to provide water to the residents at the fort built at Siri. He named the tank Hauz-e-Alai (Hauz means Tank, in Urdu).
Later, Firoz Shah Tughlaq, ordered reconstruction of the water tank and renamed it to Hauz Khas (which translates to Royal Tank). He also constructed various other buildings on the banks, and nearby. Along with the Hauz Khas Fort and Lake, the area saw the development of mosques, tombs and pavilions in the coming years. But the complex now is reduced to ruins.
(Things to do at Hauz Khas Fort)
State government organises a light and sound show every evening in Hauz Khas Village complex. The show narrates the history and importance of Hauz Khas and other structures around it. Other than that, exploring the fort complex on foot is the only activity available.
The views during sunrise and sunset are spellbinding. Then, the dark alleys and the rubble spread around act as an arena for some amazing photographs. And among the ruins and broken walls, you will find numerous rooms and passages.
While you can’t check Hauz Khas Fort architecture in detail, you can still glimpse at the Islamic style from the remnants of those majestic monuments. Various square, hexagonal and octagonal pavilions (or chhatris, as called locally) are present in the campus. From the fort, you also get a full view of the garden and reservoir below. Hauz Khas Complex also has a Deer Park near the gate. Peacocks, guinea pigs and rabbits are there, among other animals.
Whether you want to spend some time with yourself at the lake, read a book in a corner or click some memorable photographs, Hauz Khas Village Fort is the place to be. You will also find plenty of eateries to savour some lip-smacking delicacies outside the complex.
